Philosophy was not neglected. Representative of that science were William Enfield’s _History of Philosophy_, William Smellie’s _Philosophy of Natural History_, Francis Hutchinson’s _System of Moral Philosophy_, and Count Volney’s _Law of Nature_. Books relating to trades, included the _Miller and Millwright’s Guide_; the _Young Carpenter’s Assistant_; the _New System of Gardening_; the _Dictionary of Husbandry_; Washington’s _Letters to Arthur Young_; the _English Gardener_; and _Elements of Architecture_. Freemasonry was described in William Preston’s _Illustrations of Masonry_. Among books relating to the professions, those pertaining to divinity were most numerous. The Methodists had increased in numbers and were in better standing in the community. John Wrenshall was addressed as the “Rev.” John Wrenshall, and Cramer began to sell the _Memoirs of George Whitfield_, the famous exponent of Methodism. Law books were a close second to those of divinity. There were books on state, national, and international law. In medicine there were books for family use, and books for physicians. Belles-lettres and poetry formed an important department. Predominant in belles-lettres were the writings of Addison, Steele, and Pope in the _Spectator_, and its successors, the _Guardian_, and the _Tattler_; Dr. Johnson, in his “Rambler”; and _Salmagundi_, when it appeared in 1807. _Junius’s Letters_; the works of Lawrence Sterne; the Posthumous Works of Jonathan Swift; and Peter Pindar’s Satires were other books in this department. In the selection of plays, those of Kotzebue were prominent. The English plays were represented by George Colman, the younger’s, _The Poor Gentleman_, a comedy produced in Covent Garden in 1801, and by Thomas Morton’s, _Speed the Plough_, produced in 1798. Because of its authorship, _The Battle of Bunker Hill_, by Judge Hugh Henry Brackenridge, had a local interest. In the realm of poetry, were the poems of John Pomfret, Robert Burns, Dr. Thomas Brown, Alexander Pope, John Milton, Thomas Moore, Allan Ramsay, and Robert Southey. In this class was Thomas Campbell’s _The Pleasures of Hope_; James Beattie’s _The Minstrel_; Samuel Rogers’s _Pleasures of Memory_; William Cowper’s _Beauties of Cowper_, and _The Task_; Joel Barlow’s _The Vision of Columbus_; Robert Bloomfield’s, _The Farmer’s Boy_, and _A Song_; James Thomson’s _Seasons_. _Zaida_, by Kotzebue; _Charlotte Temple_, by Mrs. Susanna Rowson, and _Don Quixote_ were popular romances. In colonial days, and in the early days of the republic, little stitched pamphlets, called chapbooks, because largely circulated by itinerant vendors, or chapmen, were much in vogue. Books in this form for children had a large circulation, and Cramer carried an interesting list.
